"The Thanksgiving game is already here! It feels like only yesterday we were buckling up for a season filled with excitement and mystery as we waited to see what type of football team the Dallas Cowboys would be. Now, after 12 weeks, we are again faced with excitement and mystery as we ponder whether or not this new and improved football team can make a run at the playoffs."
"It should be a good game with plenty of things to keep our attention. Here are five things to watch when these two teams square off on Thursday. Patrick Mahomes has an assortment of receiving weapons. The Chiefs' five wide receivers with the most receiving yards are only separated by 140 yards. They include Marquise Brown (439 yards), Rashee Rice (394), Tyquan Thornton (372), Xavier Worthy (340), and JuJu Schuster Smith (299). At any moment, any one of these goods could be on his radar."
"The three-year veteran is making up for lost time, commanding a team-leading 26% target share. He's coming off an eight-catch, 141-yard performance on Sunday against the Colts. Rice is one of the more underrated wide-receiving talents in the league, and if the Cowboys' secondary isn't careful, he could be in for a huge day. Expect Mahomes to feed him early and often."
Thanksgiving features the Dallas Cowboys hosting the Kansas City Chiefs after Week 12. The Cowboys follow a big win over the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles and seek a third straight victory to revive playoff hopes. The Chiefs need a win to stay competitive in the AFC race. Patrick Mahomes has a deep receiving corps whose top five yardage leaders are separated by only 140 yards, including Marquise Brown, Rashee Rice, Tyquan Thornton, Xavier Worthy, and JuJu Schuster Smith. Rashee Rice commands a 26% target share after returning in Week 7. The Chiefs defense has allowed 201 points, fourth-best in the league, and remains balanced against run and pass.
